Ultrasound Evaluation of Abdominal Muscle Thickness During Mechanical Ventilation

France40 participantsStarted 2021-07-15

Plain-language summary

Weakness of respiratory muscles is frequent after several days of mechanical ventilation. Thereby an acquired diaphragm weakness has been demonstrated, linked to an atrophy which may be identified by a decrease of muscle thickness in echography. This study aims to evaluate with ultrasound the variation of thickness of abdominal muscles after 7 days of mechanical ventilation.
